Before getting a laptop with built in wireless I got and was basicly
happy with an SMC SMCWCB-G wireless card. Supported by the Atheros
drivers, see:

  madwifi.org

When looking at hardware compatible with the madwifi folks do pay
careful attention to the model and revsion number.

My first 802.11g device was a TRENDnet TEW-424UB WiFi USB dongle (I
thought, hey I could use it with laptop and desktop). Before purchase
I had checked to make sure the TEW-424UB was supported under Linux
(the web pages I saw said it was). Turned out there is more than one
version of the TEW-424UB, Version 1 well supported under Linux,
internally version 2 is totally different and ... well, sort of
supported under ndiswrapper... The version number can be critical,
sigh...
